Nature house in St Vigor des Monts
Normandy, France
- 2 persons
- 1 bedroom
- WiFi
- Pets allowed
Nestled in the beautiful Normandy Bocage, this is your nature home from home situated in part of an ancient barn. Surrounded by fields, and situated at the end of a no through road, although remote, this is within reach of many well known tourist attractions and areas of outstanding beauty. A sloping path along the wall of the barn leads you to the front door and once you pass through the doorway, everything is on one level. Furnished with an eclectic mix of vintage and modern furniture, the open plan living area has a well equipped kitchen, a dining area and a comfortable seating area dominated by the stunning chimney piece. The traditional French bed has been reupholstered with a lovely nature-inspired fabric and is complemented with an art deco wardrobe and dressing table. The bathroom has an antique double ended roll top bath, perfect for soaking after a busy day exploring and a shower cubicle for those quick morning showers.
Nature and surroundings
The grounds include a spring-fed pond providing habitat & shelter for diverse species. The garden is planted & tended with the intention of encouraging & caring for nature so we attract a diverse fauna. Barn owls live in the hayloft, Long Eared owls, Little Owl visit & other species of owl and buzzard hunt the farmland where there is, naturally, prey; poison is never used. Swallows nest in the barn & return every year, often producing two clutches of young. Dragonflies fly up & down the garden & butterflies, moths and bees feed on the nectar of the Buddleia grown especially for them. Every October, during wet weather, Fire Salamanders make their way to their hibernation sites & during a night time walk, many can be seen moving along the lane. Midwife toads & frogs can be heard calling & are often seen. There are plenty of local walks to enjoy, the tow path along the river Vire is a delight.

The decor was beautiful, but the practical aspects left something to be desired. The door jammed, and the chairs and couch were sagging. The dishwasher was broken. The window screens were coming loose. The patio furniture was basic.
De inrichting was schitterend alleen het praktische gebruik liet de wensen over. Deur klemde, stoelen en bank waren doorgezakt. Vaatwasser was kapot. De horretjes lieten los. Tuinmeubilair eenvoudig.
Not a single sound except for the sounds of nature. The hostess was incredibly hospitable. We were welcomed with homemade soup and French bread.
Response from the landlord: The door is over 400 years old, and although it’s heavy, it has never jammed when I’ve used it. As for the vintage sofa, although it’s soft, it isn’t saggy because the seat cushions have been recently reupholstered with new springs and fabric. The dishwasher was being replaced, but you mentioned it didn’t bother you, so although we got a new one during your stay, we didn’t want to disturb you. The fly screens were reattached before your stay, but the sun melted the glue and softened the screens. The garden furniture may be “basic,” but the vast majority of guests appreciate the old, solid granite table and benches.Geen enkel geluid op de natuur na. Gastvrouw super gastvrij. We weten verwelkomt met eigen gemaakte soep met stokbrood.

The owner was nice. She also had a light meal ready for us; we didn't get there until around 9:50 p.m.
eigenaresse was aardig. Ze had ook een kleine maaltijd voor ons , wij waren er pas rond 21.50 uur.
We had a wonderful, warm week. We were happy to have the freestanding bathtub in the house, which allowed us to cool off nicely.
The house was decorated in a rustic English style and was spacious enough for two people.
The garden wasn’t manicured, which gave it a rustic feel. We saw and heard lots of animals around the house.een heerlijke warme week gehad. Blij met het losstaande bad in huis waardoor we lekker konden afkoelen.
Huis was in landelijke engelse stijl ingericht, ruim voor 2 personen.
Tuin was niet gecultiveerd wat landelijk deed overkomen. veel dieren gezien en gehoord om het huis.This text is automatically translated. -
